This is a great spot to park (no charge), a short walk along the canal to sandwich beach with views across Cape Cod Bay. This beach is dog friendly year round & you might see the many fishermen catching fish off the jetty. Look out for seals too!!

Beautiful Beach & walking trails - state run park with many amenities. Watch the boats sail into the Cape Cod Canal. On a clear day you can see from Plymouth to Provincetown across the bay (don't forget your binoculars!!)

A short drive to Falmouth, followed by a relaxing crossing on the ferry. Be prepared to spend the day exploring (highly recommend the local buses to get around, as they are inexpensive & the bus driver will let you know exactly when you're crossing the bridge from the movie Jaws!) We love to fit a place on the dock in Edgartown & lose an hour watching the boats arriving and leaving the harbor.
